I'm on Windows 7. When I download Starcraft Anthology from the website and try to install it on my computer I get the error "This download is not Authorized" followed by "There was a problem authenticating your download. Please go to http://www.blizzard.com/account/ to start a new download."

I've tried Safe mode, and running it as administrator, and both at the same time. I tried downloading it in Safe Mode with Networking on Internet Explorer. I have tried redownloading the downloader. There's a timestamp encryption on it, so you can only use it the day you download it.

I have tried downloading it to a different folder. Both running the file from another folder, other than where it is currently, and extracting it to another folder than the one specified. I tried deleting the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USE​R\Software\Blizzard Entertainment\Downlo​ader\

I get the error "This download is not Authorized" followed by "There was a problem authenticating your download. Please go to http://www.blizzard.com/account/ to start a new download."

Have you been in touch with customer support?

Have you run the downloader in administrative?

Steinin: Battle.net - Web Issue (Ticket US34766046) Ender: I quote "I've tried Safe mode, and running in administrator mode and both at the same time. I tried downloading it in Safe Mode with Networking on Internet Explorer." and "I right click on the executable used to download the program and chose 'run as administrator'."

So you have opened a ticket. Guess you will have to wait. If you don't want to wait I'd recommend calling them to get the fastest response.

Why do you link to references to Diablo II, World of Warcraft, and Starcraft 2 if your asking about Starcraft? have you tried the compatability mode on the installer?
